Three Rivers Campground
This rustic style campground has 12 sites set at the base of southern New Mexico's tallest mountain. A portion of the site is designed for Group Camping. Three Rivers is a great place to go to get away from the crowds and is located at a much lower elevation than our other campgrounds (around 5000'). From here you can access the Three Rivers trailhead (T44) into the White Mountain Wilderness is located.
Access to the site and the roads throughout the site are all well-maintained dirt roads. Don't miss the Three Rivers Petroglyph Site on the way in or out.
